Gullywash Gardens

Gullywash Gardens was recommended to me by a friend for my October 2016 wedding. When I read the information on their website, I was pleased by their growing philosophy as well as the idea of having flowers that were grown in Minnesota. I contacted Barbara and we had our first meeting in person. I appreciated that she was low-key, asked a lot of questions, and wasn't worried that I did not have a favorite flower or particular color in mind. After I gave her my budget, she came up with a plan. I gave her samples of my bridesmaid dress color and yarn I was using to knit shawls for my bridesmaids. Since we met before the growing season started, Barbara was able to plant some flowers specifically for my wedding! More people commented on the bouquets that my bridesmaids and I carried than my dress. The flowers stayed beautiful through our ceremony, and lasted well through the reception once back in water. Also, my mom and I often stopped by the Gullywash booth at the Mankato Farmers' market on Saturdays. Barbara always had an update on the growing flowers and had beautiful bouquets to sell.
